Sports Your Daily Blazer

Well that wasn't fun.

Last night the NBA's finest young team showed a glimpse of their awe-inspiring potential... too bad that team wasn't the Portland Trail Blazers. Instead it was the Oklahoma City Thunder, who easily dispatching the Blazers by a score of 89-77. It was the lowest point total for an exhausted Blazers team that has battled injuries and a difficult schedule that has them playing more games than any other team in the NBA.

If that wasn't enough, Portland has one more game, a back-to-back on the road in Phoenix tonight. Just in case you think Portland has enough will to stroll out of Phoenix with a victory, keep in mind that the Suns have won nine consecutive games over Portland on their homecourt. It's going to be a long All-Star break.

You can't win if you turn the ball over 1/4 of the time. Worst performance I've seen in years. Looked worse than the Nets last night.

"a difficult schedule that has them playing more games than any other team in the NBA."

Man, they play more games than anyone else? That DOES seem to be a pretty difficult schedule.
